The 67th Special Operations Squadron began retiring its MC-130P fleet at RAF Mildenhall, England, on March 7, 2013, when one of its aircraft (pictured) headed to Arizona to be retired at the 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group, commonly called the bone yard. The 67th will receive the new MC-130J as a replacement http://www.stripes.com/mildenhall-unit- ... t-1.211291
All of the squadron’s 5 MC-130P aircraft are slated for retirement over the next few years. In their place, the 67th will receive 12 J models by 2022, Rodriguez said. The first will arrive in June, and by the end of the year the unit expects to have four to five.
